Despite their pure white coats, white reindeer aren’t albino, instead they have a rare genetic mutation that strips pigment from their fur – but meaning that their eyes still have darker pigmentation, as do their antlers.

A couple of years back, a photographer captured an impressive set of photos of a white reindeer in Sweden. In snaps taken by Siv Poijoin Mala, the all-white reindeer could be seen stood at the side of the forest about to cross a road.

Unlike the younger reindeer photographed in Norway, this one did appear to have have a pink-ish tinge to its antlers and…is that a red nose?
